"We know how to win as a team" - Dylan Groenewegen enjoys full support from Jayco AlUla at UAE Tour
CyclingSunday, 18 February 2024 at 10:00
Team Jayco AlUla has confirmed its selection for UAE Tour, starting next Monday. The Australian team counts on Dylan Groenewegen in sprints giving him all the support possible. The Irishman Eddie Dunbar should then give it his best shot for the final classification.
Groenewegen kicked off his season with a victory in Spain and was therefore ambitios coming into AlUla Tour, where an illness stopped him. "The start of the year was nice, but the illness was a shame," he says in a press release. "For now I feel fully recovered and ready to race again in the UAE Tour."
"The level of the sprinters here is very high, but we know how to win as a team," says Groenewegen. "We showed that last year and I am confident that it can be done again. Elmar Reinders and Luka Mezgec will be there, but Kelland O'Brien has also been added to the lead-out. So we still have a strong team. So we are ready."
Team Jayco AlUla lineup for UAE Tour:
Eddie Dunbar, Dylan Groenewegen, Jan Maas, Luka Mezgec, Kelland O’Brien, Jesús David Peña and Elmar Reinders

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
